Historical Trial...
The Kempisch canal – Canal Dessel Schoten was dug in the period 1844 - 1846. Inland shipping penetrated into the Noorderkempen. Along the bank where you can now walk or mountain bike recreationally, there used to be a strip for ship hunting. This heavy work was performed by humans or animals. The perfect combination was the horse and the donkey. To make the hard work more bearable, trees were planted to provide shadow strips above the towpath. And we still enjoy this shady ribbon today...
